History

Stone Creek Road lies along the historic Standing Stone Creek corridor, known for early Native American paths. The creek and the vicinity of the road are named for a 14 - foot stone pillar that served as a landmark for early travelers. The road was used for mining and iron production in the 1800s. 19th-century heavy logging in the area of this trail has recovered into the current state forest, including nearby protected areas like the Alan Seeger Natural Area.
